43250 Pacific Coast Hwy House

Designed by architect Michael Barsocchini for oceanfront tranquility and truly impressive entertaining, this contemporary masterpiece is located on one of Southern California's extremely rare private sandy beaches. Just past the break at County Line,... the timeless two-level residence is perched above the sand on concrete caissons with a fortified seawall. Commanding 70 feet of beach frontage, the home has panoramic views of whitewater, ocean, and islands, dolphins, sea birds, and sunsets that can be enjoyed from grand interior spaces and full-width decks on both levels. From the moment you enter the front door, the ocean is on view: an ever-changing wall-to-wall artwork. The formal living room, complete with fireplace and wet bar, has a wall of accordion doors that fold open to the oceanfront deck for indoor-outdoor entertaining. A private spiral staircase leads to the beach two levels below. Also on this floor is a full bath, a bedroom that opens to the oceanfront deck, and an en-suite bedroom with ocean views. Echoing the form of the spiral staircase on the beach side of the house, an interior spiral stairway sits in an atrium beneath a large round skylight. This leads to the lower floor, where the kitchen, dining area, and lounge share magnificent ocean views and another wide deck with accordion doors. The serene primary suite also opens onto a beachfront balcony and has a walk-in closet and a lovely, updated spa-style marble bath. There is an additional bedroom, another full bath, and a laundry area on this level. A separate entrance from the lower level opens to a garden courtyard. Here, three steps lead to a charming, private guest suite with an elevated sleeping platform and a bathroom. With an attached garage and generous guest parking in the driveway, this handsome beach house is the perfect year-round getaway. Read More
